Answer
Just add the below commanduser@user-linuxhelp:~$ sudo passwd root
[sudo] password for user: (enter the password of a user that u have currently logged in On Ubuntu 19.04)
New password: (set the password for root)
Retype new password: (re-enter the password for root)
passwd: password updated successfully(Password has been successfully updated )
Now you could use the set password of root to log in to the root account.
